Benefit to Fedora
The dynamic firewall mode will make it possible to change firewall settings without the need to restart the firewall and will make persistent connections possible.
Scope
Requires rebasing system-config-firewall to a new version.
How To Test
Compare firewall settings in static and dynamic mode.
User Experience
Connections will be persistent even after changing firewall settings.
